Your Last.fm and Netflix Accounts Could Get You a Date

Now more than ever before, your online social presence is becoming intermixed with your online dating interests. Sure, you can keep those identities separate, but it's almost impossible to do so, and you may be missing an opportunity to highlight how super dateable you are.

Throwing anonymity completely to the wind are sites like Flirt140, but if you're looking for a happy medium between full disclosure and none at all, then Zoosk's integration with Last.fm and Netflix provides a cool way to showcase your personal tastes as part of your dating profile.

Now Zoosk members looking for love can quickly link their Last.fm and Netflix accounts to display recent music and movie titles as a part of their Zoosk Date Card. The idea being that a potential love interest can check out your movie and music taste to determine whether or not you two are a match.

Even though Zoosk's site traffic isn't overly impressive, they're already doing an amazing job at leveraging the social web for dating purposes. Zoosk's Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, and MySpace applications are attracting large quantities of new users. The Facebook application alone has over 8.5 million monthly active users, and Zoosk claims that they've managed to attract over 30 million total users across all of their applications.

Now that Zoosk's throwing an even more appropriate social layer on top of online dating profiles, they're making it easier for daters to provide a more well-rounded snapshot of their personality. Plus, date seekers can bypass the manually written, too good to be true content and check out what a potential date is actually like when it comes to taste in music and movies.
